Halkia banned

[trackstar]

Does anyone know if Fani Halkia's doping violation has any impact on her Athens gold?

It does not. (Unless there's a Victor Conteopoulos out there with secret files waiting to be released)

Well played!

I'd put good horse money on it. I want Sheena Tosta to get a bronze out of this, to go with her Beijing silver.

leaving gold to be won in a pathetic 53.38 - the worst winning time for a global ever

sheena ran 52.9 at trials & shouda been capable of 53-flat there, so i don't think bronze is much consolation for a gal who musta had her sights on gold or silver coming into athens

Ever? That's true only if "ever" starts in 1988. The World Championships before that were slower.
